Custom illustration is one of my favorite parts of Custom illustration is one of my favorite parts of designing a suite, and Emily and Todd’s wedding gave me so much room to play.Their suite was built around watercolor. Every illustration was designed specifically for them, from the floral wreath framing the invitation to the custom map tracing the route to their venue. Soft coral, blush, and pale blue carried through every piece, with a line drawing of their wedding venue tucked inside as the envelope liner.Whether it’s a venue, a hometown, or a meaningful detail, having something illustrated specifically for a couple makes the paper feel like a portrait of the wedding instead of just an announcement of it.Planning & design | @eventsbyemily.pgh Photo | @sarahmccloskeyphoto Video | @tylernewpolfilms Venue | @thegempgh Florals | @lilacandfawnflorals
Way back in 2014, before wedding stationery was my Way back in 2014, before wedding stationery was my whole world, my little sister was planning her wedding and wanted one of a kind invitations.So she went hunting through antique shops and collected vintage handkerchiefs, every single one unique, and we screen printed her invitation right onto the fabric. I designed the suite, she sourced all the linens, and the whole thing came together into something completely one of a kind.This was honestly so much fun to create, and I never would have guessed back then that I’d be designing wedding stationery all the time now.Save this if you love the idea of invitations that feel like a keepsake, not just a card#weddinginvitations vintageweddinginvitations handkerchiefinvitation screenprintedinvitations weddingkeepsake uniqueweddinginvitations weddingstationery weddingdetails vintagewedding fineartwedding pittsburghwedding pittsburghweddings weddinginspo
One of my favorite things about designing a weddin One of my favorite things about designing a wedding from start to finish is watching the design carry all the way through the day.For Cassie and Brad, that meant table numbers tucked among the dahlias, coordinating place cards resting on every sage napkin, a “Be Our Guest” seating chart welcoming guests as they arrived, and a signature cocktails sign at the bar. Each piece was designed to feel like a natural extension of their invitation suite, not something added on later.Day-of paper is the part couples don’t always think about when they first inquire. It’s also the part their guests remember.If you’re planning your day-of paper, I’d love to talk.

Hand-lettered directly onto a full-size mirror, wi Hand-lettered directly onto a full-size mirror, with florals cascading at the base. This was the seating chart for Abby and Jon’s reception, and it’s still one of my favorite seating charts I’ve ever lettered.Mirror seating charts feel like an installation as much as a guide. Guests gather around them, take photos in front of them, and they end up becoming part of the wedding’s visual story instead of just directing traffic. Paired with hand-lettered place cards tied with pink ribbon at every setting and custom menus running the length of candle-lit tables, the whole reception felt cohesive from the moment guests walked in.If you’re planning your day-of paper and dreaming up something beyond the expected, I’d love to talk.
